Chapter 8

                                                                               Brooklyn P.O.V.

As we pull away we just look at each other and smile I feel my check heat up as Dallas looks at me and I invite him inside and we walk up to my room. I lay on his chest and he plays with my hair, after he somehow managed to get my hair out of the bun, while we watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier after the movie ends he kisses the top of my head "Brook" I turn my head and look up at him "Yes?"  "Can I kiss you again?" I giggle and lean up slightly and to kiss him softly and I feel his cool lip ring on my lips and he smiles which breaks the kiss "Dallas Grey smiling? Never thought I'd see the day" he chuckles and looks at me "yeah yeah whatever" he says then leans up and kisses me again after we pull away and he moves the hair out my face and puts it behind my ear. 

I smile and settle back into his arms as he wraps it around me and holds me "Dallas"  and he hums for me to continue as he plays with my hair "C-can I have your hoodie?"  "My hoodie?"           "N-never mind it was du-"  he sits up and takes off the grey Champion hoodie he's wearing and hands it to me "Here sweetheart"  I take it shyly and take off the hoodie that I'm wearing, don't worry I had a tank top on, and put his on. 

"Better?" he asks and I just nod and he chuckles before laying back on my bed and opening his arms to let me lay down in them again. We stay that way an hour or so watching random TV shows until he has to go home and help Dawson with some school stuff. I walk him down to the door and he kisses me on my forehead and gets in his car to leave but, he let me keep his hoodie so I head back upstairs to relax and finish the first season of Elite. After about fifteen minutes I receive a text from Dallas telling me he's home. While watching Elite my mind keeps drifting to Dallas, I know he has been a player in the past and maybe he still is I also know he likes the flirt with girls and goes to parties granted he hasn't since Alice but I'm not even sure why I'm feeling insecure when I don't even know what Dallas and I are so I shouldn't be worried right? It makes no sense I'm just not going to worry about it. 

My day continues on uneventful I hang out with my parents for a while and I don't hear from Dallas at all till later that night when he shows up at my house and knocking on my bedroom door then walks in. "Hey there"   "Hey," he says and walks over to kiss my forehead "We have school in the morning what are you doing here Dallas?"  "I can't come to see you?"   "No of course you can I was just wondering" I reply with a smile. I lay back in my bed and Dallas sits next to me and puts his arm around me and I settle into his side "Are you okay?" he asks "Yeah I'm fine"   "Okay" he says well he gave up fast I think and stay settled in his arms until he leaves so he can get up early since we have school he gives me a kiss and leaves me back to my thoughts of worrying what Dallas and I are. Eventually, I lay back and fall asleep.

The next morning I curl my hair lightly, apply my light makeup, my white leggings, a light blue oversized sweat with my white Fila chunky tennis shoes, and my white purse. Heading to school I see Dallas walking in with his group of friends that look the exact opposite of me I've never felt like this walking into school. Looking over at Dallas as I'm walking to my first class Dallas looks me up and down then winks and goes back to his friend. We don't talk a lot during the school day which is okay with me. I think? I honestly don't know how I'm feeling about everything at the end of the day I walk up to Dallas and his group of friends to let him know that I don't "feel well" and I can't do work with our project I see his eyes go wide with worry but I assure him that I just don't feel well. 

After I get home I fall into my head and wonder what the hell I've gotten myself into with him. Dallas calls me later that night to check on me and I assure him that I'm okay he tells me he'll see me in the morning and we end the call and I go back to half paying attention to my show and half thinking about Dallas and what he and I are and if he's talking to other girls like I know he used to do. Why do I trust him so easily? Cause he's Dawson's brother? I want to trust him but I don't know if I should or not. I finally muster up the courage and call Dallas. He answers after only a few rings "Did I wake you up?" I say looking at the clock and realizing it's 3 am "Maybe but w-what's wrong? Are you okay?"  "Y-yeah I'm fine I just wanted to talk but it can wait"   "no what's wrong brook?" he says and I hear bed sheets moving so I assume he sat up "Can I come over? Please?" I  say and he tells me of course and that he'll be waiting outside for me then we end the call and I head over to his house.

When I get there Dallas is waiting on his porch and engulfs me in a hug then we walk into his house and to his room, we sit on his bed and he sits on the bed while I pace back and forth in front of his bed until he stands in front of me and puts his hands on my shoulder and looks down at me "Brook what is wrong sweetheart you're starting to worry me"  I take a deep breath then explain everything "What are we Dallas because one second we're in my bed kissing and cuddling then you tell me to forgot everything then you're telling me you really like me and I want to trust you I do but I know your history Dallas I've watched it for years Dallas, I want to trust you I do but I'm nothing like your friends I-"   "Slow down brook, slow down I'm not sure what we are either but we can figure that out and about my past, I know but don't worry okay please I also know you aren't like my friends but that's okay. Okay? We just started us so let's take time and figure it out yeah but not at 3 am okay" he says and pulls me into a hug "Okay so at 4 am?" I say with a giggle and look up at him and he chuckles before picking me up and laying down with me in his arms "Hopefully at 4 am you're asleep" he says as I'm already falling asleep listening to Dallas's heartbeat. Soon both Dallas and I are asleep with him holding onto me tightly and not letting me go.....
